I had this dish at a local restaurant. The waitress quickly told me the ingredients and I experimented with the amounts. It tastes very close to the original dish (good thing, the restaurant is no longer open). I like spicy dishes and this is good. Enjoy! Ingredients:
16 ounces penne pasta |
1 lb chicken, cut in bite size pieces |
4 tablespoons cajun seasoning |
2 -3 tablespoons margarine |
24 ounces heavy whipping cream |
2 fresh tomatoes, cut into small pieces |
10 ounces frozen peas, thawed |
2 ounces pine nuts |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta, drain.
2. Place back into pot with tomatoes, peas and pine nuts.
3. Place cut up chicken in bowl.
4. Sprinkle with 2 TB Cajun seasoning over chicken (mix through chicken).
5. Heat margaine in nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot, add chicken and cook until no longer pink.
6. Combine whipping cream and remaining Cajun seasoning.
7. Pour over chicken and continue cooking (low heat) until warmed through.
8. Pour chicken and sauce over pasta and vegetables, cook until completely warmed through.
